The Brunn-Minkowski Inequalities for Centroid Body

Gaussian Brunn-minkowski Inequalities

A detailed investigation is undertaken into Brunn-Minkowski-type inequalities for Gauss measure. A Gaussian dual Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the first of its type, is proved, together with precise equality conditions, and is shown to be the best possible from several points of view. A new Gaussian Brunn-Minkowski inequality is proposed and proved to be true in some significant special cases. Th...

Brunn-minkowski Inequalities for Contingency Tables and Integer Flows

We establish approximate log-concavity for a wide family of combinatorially defined integer-valued functions. Examples include the number of non-negative integer matrices (contingency tables) with prescribed row and column sums (margins), as a function of the margins and the number of integer feasible flows in a network, as a function of the excesses at the vertices. As a corollary, we obtain a...

The Brunn-Minkowski-Type Inequality

The Brunn–Minkowski theorem and related geometric and functional inequalities

The Brunn–Minkowski inequality gives a lower bound of the Lebesgue measure of a sum-set in terms of the measures of the individual sets. It has played a crucial role in the theory of convex bodies. This topic has many interactions with isoperimetry or functional analysis. Our aim here is to report some recent aspects of these interactions involving optimal mass transport or the Heat equation. A...
